Our Mission

The mission of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (ORSP) is to advance
JU’s engagement in research, scholarship, and innovation.

The ORSP partners with members of the JU community in the pursuit and administration
of funding for sponsored programs to expand knowledge, enhance teaching and service
activities, direct innovative projects and research, and institute meaningful and
progressive change. The office oversees a variety of functional areas, including research
compliance, pre-award and non-financial post-award. It ensures activities align to
the standards of conduct expected by federal, state and local governing bodies, and
those that represent the values of JU.
